A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and configuration
The Bulldog is represented as a prototype gyroplane with a 150 hp Rotec R3600 tractor engine and fixed wheels. Rara-Avis Sim offers a native MSFS 2024 version, with an update available to owners of the earlier MSFS 2020 product.

History & design
A radial-engined autogyro at Friedrichshafen
Rara-Avis describes Bulldog as a one-off aircraft shown at AERO Friedrichshafen in 2015. A Rotec nine-cylinder radial sits ahead of two open tandem seats, giving this gyroplane a markedly different layout from the familiar rear-engined pusher arrangement.

What is known about its flight history
The developer records a planned first flight in July 2015 but explicitly says it could not establish whether that flight occurred. The MSFS recreation therefore has a documented exhibition prototype as its reference, without a confirmed flight-test history in this source. The planned date is not presented as an achieved milestone.

Systems & details
A radial engine in front of the rotorcraft cabin
The developer’s configuration places a 150 hp Rotec R3600 in tractor position ahead of two open tandem seats. A single main rotor, conventional landing gear and composite fuselage complete the layout. The MSFS 2024 version adds a walk-around with interactive covers, revised rotor-start logic and an optional G3X panel. Those are documented choices for the virtual Bulldog; they do not resolve the source’s uncertainty about whether the exhibited prototype completed its planned first flight.
